European giant Manchester City has sent their official list of players who will visit Vietnam on July 27.

Among 29 players there are no big names, such as Sergio Aguero and captain Vincent Kompany.

Aguero is taking a rest after participating at the recent Copa America while Kompany is said to stay at home to take care of his wife who will be giving birth in the next few days.

Apart from them, all other key members — Joe Hart, David Silva, Samir Nasri, and especially the club's record-transferred Raheem Sterling — will attend the friendly match which will be organised on July 27 in Hanoi.

Manchester City will stay in Vietnam for a three-day visit, during which they will take part in several community activities before competing against the national team at the My Dinh Stadium.

Coach of the Vietnamese team Toshiya Miura has also announced his list of 22 players to take part in the most wanted match against Manchester City.

The match will be live aired on VTV6 channel.

Vietnam's match against Manchester City will give a boost to local football players and the game in the country, top Vietnamese striker Le Cong Vinh has said.

The three-time Golden Ball winner said the match would act like a shot of vitamin for football in Vietnam and for the local players.

"When we play against them we will know where we stand and how much we need to strive to become better. It will be more meaningful for young footballers as it will be a good opportunity for them to learn from the world-class rivals," Vinh said.-VNA
